Slashdot Mirror
Wikipedia Hits 300,000 Articles
Raul654 writes "Today Wikipedia reached the 300,000 article mark. Wikipedia is a 3-year-old non-profit project to build an encyclopedia using WikiWiki software. All text is licensed under the GFDL. It has everything that a traditional encyclopedia would, but also many things that would never get written about, such as Crushing by elephant and the GNU/Linux naming controversy. For size comparisons, the English Wikipedia has 90.1 million words across 300,000 articles, compared to Britannica's 55 million words across 85,000 articles. (All the languages combined together reach 790,000 articles.) For much of the first half of 2004, Wikipedia's growth has outstripped server capacity - however, the shortage of PHP/MySQL developers is probably the biggest long term problem facing the project. Slashdot had previously reported when Wikipedia reached the 200,000 mark."
Why is no comment on slashdot ever taken the way the author intended it to be taken?
May the Maths Be with you!
Let see its working or not
What part of "well regulated" is so hard to understand?
Not much when you realise that at the time "regulated" meant that both barrels of a double barrel were adjusted to have the same point of impact at a given distance.
Excessive forking causes un-wanted children.
And comments not modded up get modded "overrated"!
Bizarro world is so strange!
Bad bye...
